Drivers in the area can expect traffic changes as the Illinois Department of Transportation prepares to repair the I-80 overpass bridge on Backbone Road in Bureau County. Starting Tuesday, April 14th, one lane of Backbone Road will close while crews work, and temporary traffic lights will be installed to help guide vehicles safely through the construction zone. These repairs, managed by IDOT, are scheduled to continue through mid to late June, with the project’s timeline subject to change. Motorists are urged to allow extra time for commutes and stay alert for construction workers and changing traffic patterns.
